Emissions of Carbon Dioxide in the Electric Power Sector

HTML Format - At a Glance The electric power sector accounts for about 30 percent of U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most common greenhouse gas. Although demand for electricity is projected to increase as the economy grows and as other sectors rely more heavily on it, the amount of CO2 emitted in producing electricity is likely to decline because that sector has relatively low-cost methods of reducing those emissions.
